Bereavement charities and organisations

Coping with the loss of a loved one is difficult for anybody, no matter what the situation.

But what's sometimes even more difficult to deal with is the circumstances of the loss.

Often people who've lost somebody under tough circumstances feel they're alone, with nobody to talk to who understands.

However, there are various charities and organisations that support people who are dealing with specific incidents of loss.

The charities and organisations offer advice and information, and many have local groups set up for people to meet others who are going through similar experiences, helping to eliminate feelings of isolation and instead bringing assistance and comfort.

Bereavement Support

1. General bereavement support

Dealing with a loss can be extremely difficult, but often talking to experts and people in similar situations can help relieve the upset.

4. Supporting children who've experienced a loss

Supporting a child who's experienced bereavement can be extremely difficult. We have a number of resources available to help, including four animated videos aimed at helping children who are 7 to 16 years of age.

5. Loss of a partner

Dealing with the loss of a partner can be extremely difficult, but often talking to experts and people in similar situations can help relieve the upset.

Please be aware that although these are recognised charities offering bereavement services we encourage and support, we don’t have any direct relationships with them, meaning any advice given is at their own discretion.

For more information and support, pop into your local funeral home. You can find their contact details here.
